The Internet's Tailgate

Twitter was completed and live on July 2006, and in October of that same year Tennessee won 16-13 in Knoxville. Many years pass. Many many years. 15 straight losses.

Twitter grew and became a juggernaut. Tennessee… did not. There were several years where they made Vandy look like a juggernaut. Dark days.

But lo, finally on a fine saturday in October- the clouds parted and down from the heavens descended Jalin Hyatt with another TD catch. Vols win 52-49.

A little over a month after Tennessee’s sisyphean task to beat Bama was (at least temporarily) accomplished- Twitter is now looking like it’s on death’s doorstep.

Most of its employees have resigned rather than stay for the ‘Hardcore’ Twitter 2.0 Musk said he wishes to create. (Is it possible Twitter 2.0 is orange? People have very strong feelings about orange).

Coincidence? That’s for you to decide.

TL;DR: By most accounts Twitter has hemorrhaged employees tonight, with possibly less than 1000 after starting this month with 7600. I wanted to know when Twitter was created and when I saw 2006 a lightning bolt lit up in my head. Im a big fan of meaningless facts so I hope some people here are of a like mind and enjoy.

Both Twitter’s and Alabama’s run are to be commended. Whether Alabama wins next year or not, I cannot say- but it’s very possible that Twitter will have seen the last of any Saturdays in October.
